Si l’écurie japonaise a ainsi confirmé sa domination de la séance du jeudi, c’est également le cas pour Porsche avec un nouveau doublé en GT Pro. Cette fois, c’est la numéro 92 de Kévin Estre et Neel Jani qui s’est hissée en haut du classement avec un temps en 1:56.411, 0.247 devant la 91 de Bruni et Lietz. L’AF Corse numéro 51 (Pier Guidi, Calado) a complété le podium à plus de deux secondes.

The German firm also dominates in GT Am with Team Project 1 (Perfetti, Cairoli, Pera), already best time the day before and author of a 1:58.015 this Friday morning. TF Sport (Keating, Pereira, Fraga) and the Dempsey – Proton Racing 77 (Ried, Evams, Campbell) follow.

Finally, the dominant team in LM P2 on Thursday is also dominant on Friday since JOTA's Oreca 07 - Gibson has once again signed the best brand in its category. After number 38, it was number 28 (Gelael, Vandoorne, Blomqvist) who finished in the lead with a 1:50.199. Followed by United Autosports (Hanson, Scherer, Albuquerque) and TEAM WRT (Frijns, Habsburg, Milesi).
